An Open Letter to Senator StevenNick (R-WA)

[Gabu]

Come on, guys, this is really getting quite silly.  We really have got to stop jumping on people the moment they do or even the moment we suspect they're doing something that we don't like.  This is hurting fantasy politics.  It's supposed to be fun.  Lighten up a little.

This party-bashing is seriously getting simultaneously ridiculous and disheartening.  I had hoped that a party chairman would be above such a thing, but I guess not.  It seems that a Democrat can't open his mouth without apparently representing the whole party.  Even former Democrats apparently can't open their mouths without representing the whole party.  It's as if parties have become nothing but labels to be used to tie a bunch of diverse people into one neat little group where they can all be attacked at the same time even when most of them are completely innocent.  Hasn't this gone far enough?  Haven't we lost enough common decency as it is?

Now I know why George Washington was opposed to the idea of political parties...
